I need help answering this question for trig equations. Sec^2x+4secx=-4

Mathematics

aliina [53]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

sec²x + 4secx = -4

Rearranging gives;

sec²x + 4secx + 4 = 0

Factorizing the left hand side gives;

(sec x + 2)(sec x + 2) = 0

This means that;

(sec x + 2) = 0

From trigonometry, we know that sec x = 1/cos x

Thus;

(1/cos x) + 2 = 0

1/cos x = -2

cos x = -1/2

cos x = -0.5

x = cos^(-1) -0.5

x = 120°

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hello!

To find our answer, we first convert 1/2 into fourths. We multiply it by 2/2, giving us 2/4.

2/4+1/4=3/4

Therefore, our answer is \boxed {\frac{3}{4}}.

I hope this helps!

How do I work out A &amp; B ?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

x² + 5x + 6

Consider the factors of the constant term ( + 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

The factors are 3 and 2, since

3 × 2 = 6 and 3 + 2 = 5, hence

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2) ← in factored form

(b)

To solve

x² + 5x + 6 = 0 ← use the factored form, that is

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
